Received on Thursday 16th October 2025 at 19:27 Regarding NCW Special Meeting 

Directs action on rest within fortnight

Ludhiana: October 16, 2025: (Kartika Kalyani Singh//Women Screen Desk):

Many laws and regulations have been enacted for women. Despite this, why haven't women been abused? Why are they repeatedly harassed? Why do cases of harassment drag on for so long? Sometimes it's a husband's extramarital affair, sometimes dowry cases, sometimes a husband's second or third marriage, sometimes pressure from a boss at work, sometimes some form of fraud...! Why doesn't this injustice and harassment stop? In our country's culture, marital relationships were considered to last for seven lifetimes. Where have we reached, those who used to stay together for life? Live-in relationships? Yet, there's no happiness or peace in life? Murders of girls every day! Women every day! Our society, which worships the nine forms of the Goddess... and we, the people who worship Kanjak...! Who has cast an evil eye on us? What abyss have we fallen into?

Answers to these questions are sought only by those who have felt pain due to these incidents. But God finds those who are meant to be a means of alleviating people's suffering. In this case, God found Mamta Kumari. Mamta Kumari is currently an active member of the National Commission for Women and has been completely dedicated to eliminating women's oppression for years.

National Commission for Women (NCW) member Mamta Kumari on Thursday directed police to resolve all pending women's grievances heard during her visit within 15 days.

Kumari held a meeting with women from diverse backgrounds, attended by officials  from district administration, Commissionerate Police, Ludhiana Rural police, and Khanna police. 

During the session, women from various areas shared grievances related to domestic violence, dowry and other harassment issues. Of the 44 complaints received, majority of them were settled on the spot, with strict orders issued for the remaining cases.

Kumari assured swift resolution and directed the district magistrate to form a committee to monitor each case. She also instructed police officials to take firm action against perpetrators of atrocities against women.

"Women must register complaints fearlessly. The NCW is committed to delivering justice to every woman," Kumari emphasized.She urged them to prioritize women’s welfare, address their challenges promptly, and ensure the effective implementation of support programs. She also spoke about the 'Tere Mere Sapne' Centre, a significant step toward empowering youth for successful marriages. 

She highlighted that these centres provide expert counselling on emotional, social, and psychological aspects of marriage, equipping individuals with the tools for healthy family relationships.
